make the footer inlined

Fix #625

Display the footer inlined with automatic vertical pipes.

Hmm - my thinking is that this might be a little bit too opinionated for others. The intuitive default (to me anyway) is that the footer is block-level content rather than inline. Maybe this could be a short piece of sample documentation instead of hardcoding CSS in the theme?

sure I just wrote the PR not to forget it. Let me see if I can set it somewhere as an example

Well... I actually see an improvement in what this PR proposes... 😉
Probably a totally subjective view as well...

I wanted to make a poll but in the end, I think it's better to keep it that way and describe exactly how the trick can be performed as it's easier to start from a block-level and add css pipes and inline rules than the other way around.

That's what I was thinking as well. Though if we can find some other themes that use behavior like this, something we can use as a guideline or principle to point to, then I'd be happy to discuss making it the default. Either way, documenting it is a nice start 🙂

I agree, let's go with docs as a first step!
@12rambau do you plan to use this very same branch/PR to work on the docs or should I close this one?

I'll create another one for convenience
